I most certainly wasn't; I've defended the signing from the beginning and said that if we could get him fit, he could be devastating.

Try again.

This guy will never be fit while there's a Nando's about

Given that we did all the hard work and saw no benefit, I hope you're right.

He's not our first waste of money and won't be the last , always risky bringing players in that we know little about. Especially greedy Aussies that see easy money for a couple of years.

Some quality pundits like TRB or Clan can't remember suggested he was a lot fitter and they may be right. However I saw no difference in the player from game one to game ten.

For me he could now look like an Adonis it would make no difference to me, it's his lack of heart that really marks him out.

Lets be right here ten games should be enough for any player to find some form and fitness even if they don't reach Test standard.

Oh he was definitely fitter - clearly so, but that isn't enough to make him into a decent footballer.

Maybe the club have got it wrong, maybe he'll be fantastic next year - but I don't see it and I am 100% convinced that we can do better both with the money and the quota spot - and that is what matters!

Well there you go. I don't hold it against the guy as he's clearly on holiday. However to be a top player even in the lesser comp that is SL you still need to make sacrifices. I'm not saying that one weekend will destroy all the good work but you just have a feeling that Hickey is the kind of party guy who can't say no. This won't be his only lapse, of that I'm certain. He just hasn't got it in him.

October fest - plenty of Beer and food - right up his street

I wonder if rob powell will make hickey do the truffle shuffle before he lets him in to the ground.
